Abstract: A system and a method for recreating an operation of a crashed vehicle during and/or before the accident. An accident data recorder collects vehicle operation data related to the operation of the crashed vehicle prior to and/or during the accident. A processor may analyze the prior vehicle operation data that may include prior acceleration input data, prior braking input data, and/or prior steering input data and may output vehicle control data to at least one electronic controller based on the prior vehicle operation data. The at least one electronic controller automatically operates the test vehicle on a test surface to recreate an operation of the crashed vehicle during and/or before the accident. At least one electronic controller unit automatically and accurately recreates a response of the crashed vehicle to the prior acceleration input, the prior steering input, and the prior braking input.

Abstract: Systems for simulating vehicle operation include a computer having a pedal activation program, the pedal activation program comprising instructions for generating signals relating to operation of a vehicle from the computer to a pedal sensor output according to a predetermined driving profile. Methods for simulating vehicle operation include providing a computer having a pedal activation program, utilizing the pedal activation program to initiate output signals to a pedal sensor output relating to a vehicle condition and transmitting the output signals to an engine control unit to implement a driving profile programmable within the pedal activation program.
